In the field of auto parts company Bosch ranked first in the world, for the development of electric cars has been calm and caution. They want to be able to stay ahead from a technical level, but not eager to expand production and supply.

    The end of 2010, SBLiMotive company is located in Ulsan, South Korea, officially opened the new plant into production, the production of hybrid cars and electric vehicles using lithium batteries. The company established a joint venture by Bosch and Samsung, to 2013 years ago to invest $ 500 million. Bosch Board of ϯ¸¥ÀÊ´Ä·Æ Run Bach (FranzFehrenbach) said: "This allows us to grasp the opportunities of the future of electric cars." 2015, SBLiMotive for their annual production capacity of the battery can supply 180,000 planning electric cars .

    Bosch has for the hybrid and electric vehicle powertrain systems to establish very complete product line, including core components: motor, power electronics controller, lithium-ion battery, charger, brake systems, body control, pump and electronic drivers required various types of sensors.

    However, in the auto parts company Bosch ranked first in the world, for the development of electric cars has been calm and caution. They want to be able to stay ahead from a technical level, but not eager to expand production and supply.

    Bosch Group expects 2018 global annual sales will reach 100 million automotive vehicles, of which hybrid, electric car sales would be 6 million, a leap in market share from almost zero to 6%. Currently, the Bosch has 800 employees worldwide dedicated to hybrid and electric vehicle technology field; while annual investment of 400 million euros for the electrification of the powertrain research.

    The end of 2009, Bosch Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, jointly (UAES) set up power-driven business, in 2011, the business plans of local employees to 100. "Automotive Business Review" has learned that Bosch in China's first real electric car project in 2012 co-production.

    "In R & D, we also want to do projects to support domestic production." Bosch said Yu-Dong Chen, president of China, "the most important goal is to reduce the new energy vehicle weight of these components, reduce space requirements and improve their efficiency, and thus within the scope of the existing battery capacity to achieve the longest distance traveled. "

    The following is a November 2010 "Automotive Business Review" on the Bosch Board of Management member PeterTyroller interview, the President of the European automotive suppliers association of calm thinking and long-term perspective, we should learn.

    "Automotive Business Review": Bosch is how to treat new energy vehicles?

    PeterTyroller: Commenting on the new energy vehicles, one of the most significant challenge is the battery. Before large-scale applications, we have to consider the cost of car, weight, durability, durability and other aspects. In Europe, the cost per kWh of battery is 600-700 euros. This second generation is to reduce the cost of 300 euros, down 50%, but this is not enough.

    In the short term, in gasoline engines, there is also potential to be tapped. 1.3 tons of medium-sized vehicles can be 100 km to 3.9 liters of diesel fuel. This can be a big step forward, consumption reduced by 30%.

    We overnight conversion from traditional to new car electric car, which is unlikely. In the next 20 years, we will see both the coexistence of different types of vehicles.

    Therefore, the challenges we face, on the one hand the need to ensure the short term the traditional energy sources, including gasoline, diesel engines so that they reduce fuel consumption. Second, at the same time need to develop hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, plug-in electric cars and so on. Two aspects should go hand in hand.
